We have an evidence of the kind regards of our popular Representative in Congress in the recent reception of four large and handsomely bound volumes of the Congressional Globe and Appendix. They contain the full proceedings?debates, speeches, resolutions and laws?of the first session of the last Congress, and make a handsome and valuale accession to our little library. "One good turn deserves another." Col. Brooks must, therefore, remember us when the second part is ready for distribution, so that we may have the complete history, of one Congress at least. ? Native Americanism. It has been aptly said that, whilst in one country an idea crawls, in another walks. in a third runs, and in a fourth soars, in America it spreads. The startling inventions and discoveries in science, religioi. and politics,'in this country, have prepared the popular mind, to a sorrowful extent, for the adoption of anything new or that presents itself in a new dress and an altered name. Hence the expansion of the new order called Kpow Nothings ; for we can account for it-in no other way, being of the belief that it dotes not stand or move upon the intrinsic merit of its principles and professions. When this new child of Yankee political genios was first announced, wo hoped and believed it would find an early grave in the land,of its birth, nor find its way thither to languish amidst questions whose overshadowing nronortions would nrohihit it* fimmw w * ? r " development But we have been, in a measure, disappointed. It has raised its banner in the South. It has achieved a triumph or two even in conservative Carolina. Even here, in South Carolina, men have forgotten for a while their hatred to the "Abolition Government," in their opposition to the few Irishmen, Jews and Germans who have oast in their lot with us. When Know Nothingism; proclaims its aversion to the loach of anti-republican Popery, .we respond,' Amen. When it avows its purpose to guard these shores against the invasion of foreign convicts and paupers, we bid it success. But when it raises it* foot to overstep the Federal Con aumuon, mat it may atrip the adopted citizen of the freeman's privileges whilst it abRolves bim from no duty; when it proceeds to levy upon the foreigner, in common with the Iji^ive, contributions for a feast, and then bi4* Wei- from iLa board ; in a word, when b practically 'Adopts the doctrine of "taxation without representation," in the ' name of jwtioeVad IiMr^we protest. x "*<% / ' M The C?ubau Question. Foil some time past the relations subsist* i?g between this Government nnd that of Spain have been somewhat embarrassed, and have afforded matter of daily discuscussion by editors and politicians. There is no doubt that the difficulties existing and threatened all arise out of the apprehensions of Spain in regard to our designs upon Cuba. Spain undoubtedly has reason to believe that we have the acquisition of Cuba in view. Two or tlirco successive Administrations have had recourse to proclamations and awakened vigilance to protect Cuba from the invasion of lawless adventurers from tbis country. The desire for its possession has not been concealed. We want it, and Spain is aware of the fact. The I present Administration came into power a- j midst the general belief tliat it was a Cuba- j acquiring Administration. The leading ar- j tide in Mr. Soule's diplomatic card was the j acquisition of Cuba. He attempted to ear ry it out by proposing a purchase. Spain | evinced no disposition to sell; and Soru:,: in conjunction with Mason and I?i;ciian- I an, said to the Cabinet at Washington that | there was no chanco to gain the desired ; end by purchase, and intimated a willing- : ness to resort to force. The Administration : dec lined to accede to such a proposition, and j Soui.e forthwith resigned. It is said that the Administration has j i? c' ' uvcu ?<iva;ii<iiiii?? in iif* jiwiicy Willi OJ>ain on : this subject?that it advanced Sol"i.e ami j then called him l?ack. Wo den}' it. Tin?} Administration never intended, under ex-! isting circumstances, to present to Spain the j alternative of selling or submitting to rob- j bcry. It wished to purchase. It was it.-,) desire to settle all differences with that Gov-1 eminent amicably, and then acquire Cuba i in peace and in honor. Hut our Minister, was hasty, lie wanted C-itba above all ; things else, and was determined to settle no j differences until Cuba was given up to u*. ( lie advanced farther than the. AdininiMia- ! , , , . I uon tiesigneu mm to go. He was therefore the deserter, and not the deserted. Hot liable almost always results in delay. It has so resulted in this instance. > The ollervcscence of iilibnsterism, and tl? - [ impetuosity of Soi lk diplomacy, havo; aroused the apprehensions and distaste of Spain towards us, and tightened her gra>p upon the "Gem of the Antilles." And moreover, they have done much in provoking the "atrocious outrages" so frequently reported by the filibuster press of the country. Weakness, individual or governmentnl IC mv.f Tl- - 1*i I I.., ..1 v<v> gvuniiiiu ilim jvaiuus. 1 lie III- i liputian looks upon every movement of thej giant in his direction as a threaten of as- j sault. Spain is weak, ami tliis country is i strong. No wonder then that., knowing as o ' r? t sho docs our desire for the acquisition of' Cuba, tliat her apprehensions should be aroused and her suspicions active. No wonder she watches American vessels in the J region of Cuba. She perhaps judges of us j by what she knows she would be if possess- i ed of our might. We would not be undestood as excusing > the conduct of Spain or any other power j when it tramples wantonly upon our rights. I We should be the last one to advocate any ! submission on the part of this Government i tO Wanton insult fit tbl> lmnrU onr.ll.,... i whether it be the weakest or the strongest. Our doctrine is to repel insult with a promptness in exact ratio with the strength and respectability of the aggressor. A strong and powerful man can afford to exercise forbearance towards a weak one. Indeed it is honorable and magnanimous to do so. Yet there is a point where forbearance ccases to bo magnanimity, and at that point we would counsel to arms. If Cuba would be an acquisition indeed to this country, and especially to our section, wo desire it most heartily. And we do not doubt for a moment that the possession of it as a slavcholdincj State would b? ft vast benefit to us. But let us takp care that our avarice and liot haste to satiate it, do not spoil the pie in tho baking. If wo treat Spain as becomes a powerful Government to treat a weak one, tho time will come when our money can acquire it, without a loss of our self-respect and an effusion of our blood. The subject is becoming somewhat interesting to us, and we may take occasion to say more of it anon. Another tiiaoedy.^-The Mobilo Advertiser says a quarrel took plafte in that city, between Win.

Good hStout" Fortune.?Daniol Stout, of Hock River, III., gives notice to the legal heirs of John Stout that there is a legacy df ^100,000 which they can obtain by npplyijig^to him.

The Steamer Baltic arrived at New York, on Friday hist, with Liverpool dates to 24th March. Tho news of Eastern affairs is void of particular interest. We subjoin the. most important items from the telegraphic reports in the Times and Carolinian : Tho Vienna Conference li.nl unanimously adopted the first ot' the tour points, placing the Dannbian principalities under the joint protectorate of the four powers. Cotton had been active at 1-1G to 18 advance. Sales of the week 87,500 bales. Breadstuff* steady. The money market was easier. Coulsols closed at 02 3-4. The French Government has chartered the City of Baltimore for six uionth?, to convey troops to the Crimea. The Czar's adddresses to the diplomatic bodies were mild ; but those to tho army were warlike. The latest despatches from Vienna slate the conferences were going oiv favorably. The second point was either settled or will be shortly. The question of peace or war, however, depends on the adjustment of tinthird point. Count. Nesselrodo will go Jo Vienna when the critical moment arrives. Alexander has given strong evidence that lie aided his father in all his warlike plans. Rumors wore current of a new basis of arrangement, including the freedom of the Black Sea, the opening of the Danube, and the erection of Turkish For Is in Asia. The Porte has determined to maintain undiminished sovereignty over the Dardanelles. It also protests against the Christians of the empire being placed under any foreign protection, and desires that Prussia may participate in the conference. The health of the allied army was satisfaetory. The English position was well fortified. The Russians had received reinforcements. The allies had resolved on .active operations.

Tflft Ratrannali TT ?-?11 n*? 13 if Oil Wednesday last the Directors met here for the |?ui|?i?so of deliberating upon the affairs of the Company. We were not at home, but it affords us great pleasure to be able to inform the, friends of the Road that measures were adopted looking to an immediate commencement of the work. A corps of Engineers were, elected, with Mr. I\ C. Arms as chief, and ordered forthwith to proceed to the location of the Road, and the making up of estimates necessary for the letting of contracts. This is the most gratifying step yet taken in the premsies, and as it is tlic determination of the Direction to follow it up with vigorous action until the process of completion shall be fully under way and upon a sure footing, the Stockholders may congratulate themselves on the certainty of having, at no distant day, a steam horse ploughing the hills and fores's from here to Anderson. Rut they have got the work to themselves, and with their own resources. Augusta ignores the bill, ami refuses to lend ;i helping hand. The Direction receded from the indications manifested at Calhoun's Mills, relative to the Suite subscription, the non-connection with the South Carolina Road, and the horsepower track across the bridge, and fell back upon the original proposition submitted in December last. This action, noble and praiseworthy on the part of the Direction, was simply a refusal to restrict the company in their sphere of operations, and to bind them up in perpetuity, by the imposition of conditions at once onerous, unjust and illiberal.?They justly deemed the proposed subscription of 8500,000 as too small a consideration for the extravagant demnndsof Augusta; and taking a proper view of both horns of the dilemma, U'inolu (ti.torinitinil x.ww.Miui^u ivjcci tnu said sill)" scription unless it bo made upon terms as liberal towards the company, as beneficial to the City. Tliis course, produced some disaffection in the committee, and the result was a unanimous recommendation to the City Council not to make the subscription. We are sorry our neighbors have taken such a contracted view of the matter; and still more do wo regret that they were so illiberal as to manifest a disposition to impose upon the Company-in consideration of the aid proposed conditions so repugnant to their interests, and such as could not be accepted. We at one time looked to that ici, wan some acgree of confidence for assistance in the great work before us; and ; could that assistance have been Recti red, the work wonld certainly have gone on with great rapidity to a speedy termination; but delay is not always ruinous, and in this instance the uttermost it can do will retard for a short period, tlie prosperity and the wealth that must aMend the enterprise, and with ita completion crown the labors of its friends. The Stockholders alobg ike line can build the Road, and manfully have.they detertnintodo it. We commend their course, and oui Uiem tfod-speed in the great wort Since writing the above, we notice in the Confttittttionalut nud Republic, a paragraph suiting thai the Valley Road is to run from i Anderson to Aiken, ami that Hamburg is to have a branch about ten miles in leugih. All we have to Buy upon this part of the subject at present is, that we would much prefer the voluntary donation of ourselves to Charleston, than a sale to the City of Augusta. That City will learn when it will be too late to remedy the error perhaps, that "lutc.rative trade that is bound to pass over i this important road," will bo controlled by iii. ii whose recollection of their anneals fur laid, and ilur refusal on the purl of the City [ suitlu?ritios to grant it, will not easily be obliterated.?Hamburg Pioneer. Letter from Mr. Orr. The following letter was addressed by I Ion. Ja*. L. Orr ill reply to an invitation to address the Democracy of New York : Washington, March 4, 1855.

Tiik following, from the Macon (Ca.) Citizen, describes the modus operandi of a trick which is frequently played, as also relates how a couple of the operators were recently detected and cared for : Our efficient IVnutv Marshall. J. T. Pryco, was successful, on Tuesday morning last, in capturing a couple of individuals, whose swindling devices a day or two previous, at Augusta, had l>cen communicated to him, through Mr. l>cm>, the Railroad Conductor. It appears that two persons had swindled Mr. Richard Fearn out of ?150 by wli.it is called the "ball trick," which consists in having a brass baii so constructed as to admit a small piece of white paper in two places, covered by a cap ingeniously screwed on, in a way oidy known to the initiated. It takes three to play the j game?one verdant or flat, and two sharps. \ Olio of the latter shows the ball to flat, and t offers to bet that it ran nut he opened. lie then culls up sharp No. 2, as a stranger, and hands over the ball for him to try to open it, retiring iif the mean time a short distance under some pretext. No. 2 opens the | ball and discovers a piece of paper, which lie takes out and closes up the aperture. Lie then propoes to flat to get a bet out of sharp No. 1, as to the existence of paper in the ball. The bet is made and accepted ! and the stakes held by sharp No.2. Sharp No. 1 then takes the ball and opens the other \ place where a bit of paper is found. Of course, verdant loses his bet, which the sharps divide between them. Accident.?On the 23 instant, a valuable negro man, belonging tu the Messrs. Allen, contractors on the Unilrond, was killed while working on their contract. It seems that the boy in question, with others, were employed in making a cut of twenty-five feet, when the earth suddenly caving cftught and completely hurried him.
